Oh my gosh. It’s people like you who make me feel bad about myself XD. Seriously though, congrats on such amazing achievements. I would be really surprised if you didn’t make it into most of these schools.

@collegeboundprogrammer Looking at your own statistics, I’d say you have nothing to be worried about :). You are equally as qualified!

I wish I could give you some advice for you to work on, but as others have said, your academic record is astounding! I think you can get into most if not all of these schools. I would honestly be so shocked if you didn’t. But then again, Ivies tend to be a crapshoot for those who aren’t completely qualified. Seeing your qualifications, that definitely is not the case for you though. If I had to give you any feedback I guess it would just be to not slack off on essays! Good luck!

I would love it if you could chance me back here: http://talk.qa.collegeconfidential.com/discussion/comment/20690607#Comment_20690607

@tripledouble2000 Thanks for the input! I’ll get back to yours as soon as possible.

@MITdream2018 I thought I was doing good until I saw this post <:-P

I would say you will probably get into MIT which I think is what you really want to get into, but now it’s up to your essay really.

Good luck, and damn you!

I saw this awhile back, did you get accepted?

Really the only purpose of the posts like this is bragging. Anyone aiming for top colleges should be able to figure out their chance after about 15 minutes on CC. Not that I think there’s anything wrong with bragging.
